Logged in and pleasantly surprised -- new card ordered and case approved! Located in San Francisco Bay Area. N-400 still pending.

 

June 23, 2021 Case Was Approved

June 22, 2021 We ordered your new card.

December 1, 2020 We transferred your Form I-751, Petition to Remove Conditions on Residence, to another USCIS office that now has jurisdiction over your case.

November 30, 2020 Your Form I-751, Petition to Remove Conditions on Residence, was transferred to another USCIS office.

November 9, 2020 N-400 filed online.

July 11, 2020 The fingerprints relating to your Form I-751 Petition to Remove Conditions on Residence, were taken.

November 12, 2019 We received your Form I-751, Petition to Remove Conditions on Residence.

Again, pleasantly surprised myself. I got an email from USCIS for new card production today, June 25th. I scheduled an InfoPass appointment in the beginning of June to get a stamp on my passport, and got it done yesterday, since my extension was expiring next month. 
 

N-400 still pending.

I think generally once you file a N-400 while I-751 is pending, they will be adjudicated together so the N-400 timelines become the latest timelines for both cases. I am not 100% sure though.

Thanks and good luck with your journey!

I'm in the same boat. WAC filer as of Nov 9, 2019. filed for N-400 in Nov 2020 with SF as local office. I-751 Case was transferred to NBC on Dec 1, 2020. Received biometrics reuse notice for N-400 on Feb 19, 2021. N-400 case completion date online is showing as Nov 2021 (for a while it was showing Aug 2021, then the biometrics reuse notice appeared and it changed to Nov 2021).

Thanks for sharing! My timeline is mostly the same, except for the fact my N-400 online shows Jan 2022 from the beginning, an 11 month wait time: maybe due to paper filing. I did make an online account and added N-400 electronically so I can see all updates, but nothing as of Jan 12 at my end for I-751 & N-400. My conditional extension expires in July 2021.

Do you know which processing center timelines do we follow for I-751?

I'm WAC too. Filed a day before you. Got transferred and filed for N400 in Nov 2020. My ROC got approved I believe in December, check my timeline if you want to be sure. My case got transferred in the summer. Good luck. I know the waiting is a pain.

Thanks so much - some progress after hearing your success. I hope to hear from USCIS soon..just want the process to end; it’s been too long. 

Hi all - I'm a WAC Nov 6, 2019 filer, but I filed for N-400 in Nov 2020. My case got transferred to NBC in Jan 2021, so I guess ill have to wait. Anyone else in the same boat as me? Thank you.

Hello VJ members,

So I have my I-751 still pending, no news from USCIS (WAC - Nov 2019 filer), but I was qualified to apply for N400 so I went ahead and submitted the application through my attorney. My attorney made a mistake and sent the application to Lewisville, TX address instead of my Phoenix, AZ address. I am a resident of CA.

Does anyone of you have any idea of what will happen next? It’s been 3 weeks no response from USCIS about my N400 application. Will my N400 will be rejected and returned, and when should I re-apply?

This was the last thing I was expecting from an attorney to do to my application. My attorney has been disappointing.

Thanks!

@DragonBallZee it is hard to say what the next phase will be especially with the pandemic. They can either send a request for more evidence, schedule you for an interview or just approve you. I filed in September 2019, my finger prints were taken 1/23 and my status still states "Case Was Received". If you received your extension letter in November, you still have a good 8 more months so stay put and be patient.

@Walbrzyszanka221 Thanks for your reply - I hope we all get through this asap. The next few months are critical but not quite sure exactly how many would it take: counting on hopefully less then eight months.

Hello,

I'm a November filer and got an email update from USCIS on 07/11: 

"Case Was Updated To Show Fingerprints Were Taken; As of July 11, 2020, fingerprints relating to your Form I-751, Petition to Remove Conditions on Residence, Receipt Number WAC20XXXXXXXX have been applied to your case."

Since my old prints have been applied, what would be the next phase and approx how long would it take? it took 8 months to get to this message and the temp approval expires in 16 months. Thank you.

Ooooooo I just checked my Case Tracker App fully expecting nothing, but it shows that 4 days ago (May 13th 2020) my case status was updated! It says, "Fingerprints relating to your form I-751 have been applied to your case."

The last time I did biometrics was sometime in Feb '17, so it seems like they decided to use the fingerprints on file instead of making me come in to do new ones. I was pretty sure that too much time had elapsed since my last fingerprinting for them to be reused, so perhaps this is influenced by Covid and their aversion to in-person appointments for the moment?

Either way, pretty jazzed to see the first update to my case since September '19!

Any news is good news! I hope we all make it on time - especially with all in person appointments cancelled, resources should be diverted to our cases to make sure it get done before the 18 month extension expires.

Quick question: can we apply for citizenship even when are cases are pending at 2 years and nine month mark? Thanks.

Hello, 

I am same boat as urs, 

I have seen that WAC  August filler for fingerprint waived

Oh no. I haven’t even heard about the waiver on my application yet. California case processing times were 15 to 23 months but now it says 14 to almost 28 months.

Hi Everyone,

My case number starts with WAC2090 (California Service Center) and no updates since I last filed in November 2019. my PD is Nov 6 - any luck or success stories from WAC applicants with somewhat similar PD's? Thanks & Good Luck!

Congratulations!

Congrats!  It took about a week plus or minus a day for us (I think plus one day)

Thanks! 

"New Card Is Being Produced" - Finally after 112 days! Thank you God, and VJ members! 

Any idea how long does it take for the card to be produced and delivered? The email said it should reach in 30 days, but I'm assuming its a standard cut off time.

I would suggest you put in another SR. I put in a third one about a week after the second one and the second one hadn't even been assigned but the next day the third one had a response.. Go figure 🙄 Sometimes they just need bugging, even if it's to be told that your case is under review! Also ask them if it's been sent to another office and if so, which one. Mine got sent to Lee's Summit, MO..

Yes that's my next plan of action. I will also speak to a Tier 2 officer - which I feel I should've had earlier. Day 109 today!

Good luck with your application!

After speaking to a very helpful T1 officer, she decided to write a bunch of stuff on my case profile and assigned it to an officer. That was yesterday 1:00 PM eastern time. Haven't heard anything since then. This is our 2nd SR (PD May 1st, Nebraska). The 1st SR was responded the next day first thing in the morning with "need 30 more days" crapp. I want to believe that this time they might actually be working on my case, but the whole process has battered me enough not to get my hopes high

 

Anyone has any experience? How long does it take for them to respond after service request is assigned? Am I reading too much into the whole thing? Am I going to waste another weekend stressing out?

It depends on case to case basis: some have their replies in a decent span of time, whereas others have to wait over time. My PD is May 24th, and most with similar timelines as mine are receiving responses, and/or their cards. My SR was August 21st, which is still not answered. I will also go for a 2nd SR next week: it may help my application. Wish you good luck!

Finally after 113 days and 4 SR requests, my EAD was finally approved and my card is in production, a very long road and tough time with no work and sitting around all day and we are one step closer. I hope all the other that are waiting get some good news soon.

Many congratulations! Day 106 at my end, 1 SR unanswered, still waiting...

We're at 112 days since PD without word still.  It's been 26 days since we submitted our first SR and we were supposed to hear back August 30 but nothing yet, it hasn't even been assigned for processing.

 

We're both having a hard time lately and this is just making everything worse, feeling very discouraged and generally icky.  Hope we hear back soon :/

My PD is 05/24 and its day 105 today. No response at my end as well. Its not specified anywhere, but from what we're experiencing, I think the "60 to 90" day count period is only business days. Hope we get our EAD's soon - can't wait to start working!

Both of my SR haven't been assigned yet, though the dates they were supposed to are today and tomorrow ( 

Seriously, it seems like never ending...Did you hear anything from them today (i.e. by day end)?

It seems that EADs are being approved after 110 or 120 days so it should be very soon for you!

I hope so too. Thank you.

Thank you - Good luck with your interview!

Two things. 

1) It would not slow down your process, if anything you would just be denied the expedite and return to normal processing time.

2) If your wife is unable to work and generate income, this is a serious financial loss on your part. If she is on maternity leave and is still generating the same income, they might ask for further proof, but it doesn't hurt to call and discuss this with someone. If you need to, demand to speak to a tier 2 person. 

All I am thinking is that its 99 days already, and they haven't even assigned my SR yet. No news after biometrics. 

I will try for the Tier-2 route. Thank you.

Are you the same person that was in this forum earlier that was trying to expedite?

Having a baby is cause for an approved expedite, no question!

Yes, I did ask for some advice on it last time I posted - our baby was expected during the labor day week in september, but the delivery got sooner then expected. 

While going through some comments, some say unless the delivery of the spouse has any complications or anything, you cannot base it as a valid reason for expedite request. Just want to be sure because I'm worried they might make things even slower. She's the only person working for now, and now her being on maternity leaves, we're using up our savings.

Hoping for the best!

Once you apply for AOS and have your I-797C receipt, go ahead then a send a letter to withdraw your non-immigrant change of status application. That will be a neat way to do it.

Did exactly what you suggested. Thank you.
